    Hi @Jake_pm ,

    You can use the Date.parse() function to convert the timestamp into datetime format ( MM/dd/yyyy ).
    You can iterate over the array by using .map(), for example:

    $time_stamp.map(val => Date.parse(val).toLocaleDateTimeString({format: "MM/dd/yyyy"}) )

    Input:

    [
   {
      "time_stamp":[
         1675202216000,
         1675195016011
      ]
   }
]

    Output:

    [
   {
      "time_stamp":[
         "01/31/2023",
         "01/31/2023"
      ]
   }
]
